Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2023

Heimstad, Eldbjørg Sofie; Moe, Børge; Davie-Martin, Cleo Lisa; Borgen, Anders; Enge, Ellen Katrin; Nordang, Unni Mette; Løge, Oda Siebke; Harju, Mikael; Bæk, Kine; Hanssen, Linda

Samples from the urban terrestrial environment in the Oslo area were analysed for metals and a large number of organic environmental pollutants. The selected samples that were analysed were soil, earthworm, fieldfare egg, brown rat liver, roe deer liver, vegetation, honeybee, and Spanish slug. Biomagnification potential was estimated based on detected data for relevant predator-prey pairs.

Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2022

Heimstad, Eldbjørg Sofie; Moe, Børge; Borgen, Anders; Enge, Ellen Katrin; Nordang, Unni Mette; Bæk, Kine; Nipen, Maja; Harju, Mikael; Hanssen, Linda

Samples of soil, earthworm, fieldfare egg, brown rat liver, spanish slug, house dust and cat liver from the urban terrestrial environment in the Oslo area were analysed for several different groups of environmental pollutants. Biota-soil accumulation was calculated from soil to earthworm from the same location, and biomagnification-potential was estimated based on detected data for relevant predator-prey pairs from the same location.

Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2021. Revised report.

Heimstad, Eldbjørg Sofie; Moe, Børge; Herzke, Dorte; Borgen, Anders; Enge, Ellen Katrin; Nordang, Unni Mette; Bæk, Kine; Nipen, Maja; Hanssen, Linda

Samples from the urban terrestrial environment in the Oslo area were analysed for metals and a large number of organic environmental pollutants. The selected samples that were analysed were soil, earthworm, fieldfare egg and liver, brown rat liver, roe deer liver, vegetation, insects and red fox liver. Biomagnification-potential was estimated based on detected data for relevant predator-prey pairs.

Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2019

Prøver fra det urbane terrestriske miljøet i Oslo-området ble analysert for flere uorganiske og organiske miljøgifter. De
utvalgte artene var meitemark, gråtrost, spurvehauk, brunrotte, rødrev og kattugle. Luft- og jordprøver ble også analysert for å øke forståelsen av kilder og opptak av miljøgifter. En næringskjedetilnærming ble valgt for å undersøke trofisk magnifisering av de forskjellige stoffene.

Prøver fra det urbane terrestriske miljøet i Oslo-området ble analysert for flere uorganiske og organiske miljøgifter. De utvalgte artene var meitemark, gråtrost, spurvehauk, brunrotte, rødrev og grevling. Luft og jordprøver ble også analysert for å øke forståelsen av kilder og opptak av miljøgifter. En næringskjedetilnærming ble valgt for å undersøke trofisk magnifisering av de forskjellige stoffene.

Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2017

Heimstad, Eldbjørg Sofie; Nygård, Torgeir; Herzke, Dorte; Bohlin-Nizzetto, Pernilla

Abiotic and biotic samples from the terrestrial and urban environment were analysed for inorganic and various organic contaminants in the Oslo area. The species analysed were earthworms, fieldfare, sparrowhawk, brown rat, tawny owl, red fox and badger. Air and soil samples were also included in the study to increase the understanding on sources and uptake of pollutants. A foodchain approach was used, in order to detect trophic magnification of the different compounds.

Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2016. NILU report

Herzke, D.; Nygård, T.; Heimstad, E.S.

We analysed biological samples from the terrestrial and urban environment for various inorganic and organic contaminants in the Oslo area. A foodchain approach was used, in order to detect bioaccumulation of the different compounds. The species analysed were earthworms, fieldfare, sparrowhawk, brown rat, tawny owl and red fox. Air and soil samples were also included in the study to increase the understanding on sources and uptake of pollutants.

Herzke, D.; Nygård, T.; Heimstad, E.S.

We analysed biological samples from the terrestrial and urban environment for various inorganic and organic contaminants in the Oslo area. A foodchain approach was used, in order to detect bioaccumulation of the different compounds. The species analysed were earthworms, fieldfare, sparrowhawk, rats, tawny owl and red fox. Soil samples were also included in the study.

Environmental pollutants in the terrestrial and urban environment 2014. NILU OR

Herzke, D.; Nygård, T.; Heimstad, E.S.; Uggerud, H.

On an assignment from the Norwegian Environmental Agency, the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) in collaboration with the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) collected and analysed biological samples from terrestrial and urban regions for various inorganic and organic contaminants. The purpose of this report is to provide an updated assessment of pollution present within an urban environment in Norway, compared with that of more rural sites. The selected species were sparrowhawk and fieldfare (eggs), red fox (liver) and earthworms. Of all the organisms and tissues measured in the study, sparrowhawk eggs had the highest average concentration of the sum of all organic pollutants measured, followed by fieldfare, earthworm and red fox on a wet weight basis. Higher concentrations in the urban site, Oslo, compared to the rural site were observed for sparrowhawk and earthworms.

Samples from the urban terrestrial environment in the Oslo area were analysed for metals and a large number of organic environmental pollutants. The selected species were earthworm, fieldfare, tawny owl, red fox and brown rat. Air- and soil-samples were also included in the study to further the understanding on sources and uptake of pollutants. A food-chain approach was used to investigate trophic magnification of the different compounds.

Environmental Management Report 2013. NILU OR

NILU.

One of NILU's main goals is to study the impact of pollution. It is thus very important for the institute to have control of the impact the institute¿s own activities may have on the environment and to reduce the impact as far as possible.

NILU has for many years been working to reduce the impact. In order to take this one step further, it was decided that the institute should restructure the work according to a relevant environmental standard and to seek certification according to the same standard.

The chosen standard is ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental management systems - Requirements with guidance for use) and NILU achieved certification according to this standard in October 2010. This report summarizes the results of the system.
